University College Dublin is pleased to host a meeting of the European & North American U21 International Directors on 19 March 2010, beginning at 9am.

The meeting will take place at UCD's Newman House, 85-86 St Stephen's Green, and all International Directors, or people in similar roles within U21 universities are welcome to attend.

The objective of this meeting will be to discuss and plan a range of possible areas for collaboration relating to internationalisation.  There is particular interest in considering how the brand and market position of U21 might be developed and enhanced for the joint and individual benefit of member institutions.  Other topics of interest include shared student recruitment initiatives, international benchmarking and profile-raising through a more visible presence at major international higher education events.
